Concrete cures best in temperatures above 50 °F (10 °C), so check the forecast for the next week. If you can expect warm temperatures, then now is the right time to pour the concrete.  Pouring in the spring or summer is ideal to avoid any unexpected cold weather. If there is a sudden cold snap after pouring the concrete, professionals usually protect the concrete by building a structure around the site and using a portable heater. This is an expensive option, but it’s the best choice to protect the concrete. While the concrete is curing, it can’t handle excessive weight. Let it dry for a full 24 hours before stepping on it to prevent damage to the surface.  If you’re water-curing the concrete, take extra care to avoid stepping on it while you re-wet the fabric. If the concrete is in an area with a lot of foot traffic, block the area off and hang signs warning about wet cement. Make sure any pedestrians will know they can't step on the area. Even if the concrete looks dry, it can't handle excessive weight until after it cures completely. If the concrete is in your driveway or a similar area that cars drive on, wait at least 10 days before driving or parking your car on it.  If you have a large vehicle like an RV or truck, wait 28 days before parking it on the concrete. Also wait 28 days if this is a commercial area with a lot of vehicle traffic, like a parking lot. The weight from multiple vehicles can cause the concrete to sink. Introducing new chemicals to the concrete before it’s completely hardened can interfere with the curing process. Wait a full month before applying any paints or stains to the concrete. If you do want to paint the concrete and used a curing compound, remember to get one that is nonreactive with paint.

TL;DR in English: Pour concrete when the temperature will be above 50 °F (10 °C) for at least 7 days. Wait 24 hours to walk on the concrete. Drive on the concrete only after 10 days have passed. Let the concrete harden for a full month before painting or staining it.

A comb with sturdy, widely spaced teeth is essential for combing out severe tangles. Fine combs and brushes are likely to meet too much resistance, forcing you to either pull out clumps of hair, or stop brushing. Be sure to pick a comb that doesn't have teeth so wide that smaller tangles slip through. Always comb tangled hair starting near the ends. Place the comb a few inches (several centimeters) from the end of the tangled hair, and brush downward. Repeat until that section of hair is free of tangles, then move the comb slightly higher up. Repeat until the entire length of your hair is combed. For long or thick, severely matted hair, this may take an hour or more. If you have a sensitive scalp, hold a section of your hair as you brush it. Grasp a portion of hair about the thickness of a marker or glue stick between your fingers, and give it a half-twist to keep the comb from pulling directly on your scalp. Comb this portion of hair beneath your hand, moving your grip higher once the hair below it is successfully untangled. Apply a drop of conditioner or oil to a tough knot and rub it in with your finger. This will help lubricate those hair strands further, reducing the amount they cling to each other. If a mat of hair refuses to come apart despite all your efforts, you may need to thin it out. Open a pair of scissors and hold your hair tight with your other hand. Run the bottom blade of the scissors along the underside of the mat, then gently tug at your hair to remove loose strands. If it has been weeks or months since the last time you combed your hair, cutting mats out may be your best option, as you can spend hours detangling with no results. Use a wide-toothed comb until the severe mats and tangles have been straightened out. Switch to a fine-toothed comb or a brush to remove any small knots that may remain. Rinse out any hair treatments completely once your hair is untangled. If you have tightly coiled hair, and the severe mats have separated enough to allow you to part your hair, clip each section...

Colleges usually offer grants or partial scholarships. Look for programs or scholarships from outside sources that can help with the remaining cost. Apply for as many of these scholarships as you can to reduce the cost of your education as much as possible. Once you are in college, maintain the academic standing required of your scholarship. Most grants or scholarships require that you maintain a certain GPA or otherwise remain in good academic standing. Continue to work hard and get grades high enough to keep your scholarship for as long as you need it. Athletic scholarships are highly competitive, and they only go to the best players in a region or state. If you're not the best player on your team and in your region, getting an athletic scholarship will be difficult. Practice and work hard to improve in your sport. Contact coaches at colleges you're interested in.  The best athletic schools might overlook mediocre academics, but if a scholarship comes down to you and a similar player with better grades, chances are it'll go to the other person. Because of this, keep your grades up, too. Being proactive about getting recruited will put you on the coach's radar as an athlete. Since you came to them, they'll know you're interested in their school and will be more likely to consider you. While this scholarship can help you get a top-tier education for free, it comes with a cost. You'll have to spend upwards of 20 hours a week practicing your sport, which can keep you from investing in the academics of college. These scholarships are also re-awarded each year, so they can be taken away if your coach doesn't feel you need or deserve it each year.  Consider lower-division schools, too. While you may dream of playing for your favorite Division I school, these scholarships are much more difficult to get. The ROTC also offers scholarships if you're looking into joining the military. For most ROTC programs, you will serve four years of active service and four years with the Individual Ready Reserve, during which you...

TL;DR in English: Apply for academic scholarships. Aim for an athletic scholarship. Consider going the ROTC route. Apply for more unique scholarships.

There are paint thinners that have been created specifically for model use. If you are using a specific brand of paint, use the same brand of paint thinner. If you can't find paint thinner or want to create your own, combine 50% distilled water with 50% of propyl alcohol and your paint in a 1:1 ratio. Thinning out the paint lightens the consistency and enables you to make more consistent coats. Use a mild dish soap and cold water with a rag to wash off your car. Remove any particles of dust that may have built up on the surface of the car as a result of sanding. Wipe the model dry before moving onto the next step. Dip your brush into your paint and fill in the more intricate pieces of your model, like the mirrors first. Make sure not to paint over areas where your model will fit together, or you may have trouble assembling your model correctly. Get a variety of different sized brushes to make painting easier. You can use either a synthetic or natural-haired brush to paint your car models. Continue to paint over larger parts of the car. Do not dab or scrape with the brush unless you are doing specific detailing. Instead, you want to achieve an even coat by making long and even strokes. Popular paints for model cars include Testors, Model Masters, Humbrol, Tamiya, PollyScale, Floquil, and Vallejo. Allow your model car to dry overnight before going back to apply additional coats to the model. Continue to work at painting your car, applying the paint as evenly across the model as possible. Apply painter's tape to finished details so that you don't ruin them when applying additional coats of paint.

Find out if your school has a School Lunch Advisory Council. Get to know your school’s nutrition staff. Talk to your principal about nutritional guidelines for school events. Encourage your friends to make healthy choices.

Let him decide if he wants to have lunch near you, rather than always rushing to eat near him. If he works in another department, don’t spend too much time there or he might feel that you’re being intrusive.  You can send plenty of signals that you’re interested without crossing his boundaries. Remember, no one wants to feel like they’re being sexually harassed at work. If they feel harassed, this could land you in trouble! Some workplaces actually prohibit employees from becoming romantically involved. Others have strict policies about the kind of communication that is allowable while on the clock. Don’t do anything to jeopardize either of your jobs. If it has to wait until after work, let it. Check the employee handbook. If you didn't get a copy, there might be one in the breakroom or office. It could also be available digitally. This can be the hardest part, but it’s almost bound to happen. No matter how subtle you both are, people are sure to notice what’s going on. Workplace gossip helps relieve the boredom of routine, so expect questions and rumors.   Gossip can work in your favor. If your crush wasn’t sure of your intentions, hearing a rumor might help him get the full picture. Decide whether you want to dismiss rumors or be honest about your feelings. This can help you or backfire, so choose wisely. Remember that the things you tell someone in confidence will likely make their way around the office eventually. It’s very common for people to see workplace flirting as a way to get ahead in the company. First, you need to be honest with yourself that this is not what’s going on. Then let anyone who asks know that you would never engage in flirting simply to advance your career. This may not happen every time, but it is more likely if the guy has a higher position than you.

If you’re passionate about making nutritious food options available to yourself and your classmates, getting involved in a SLAC is a great option. Talk to your teachers or the school administration about whether your school has a SLAC and, if so, ask them how you can join. Even if your school doesn’t have a council dedicated to nutrition, you may be able to get involved by joining a more general student advisory group or a school nutrition club. Talk to your school’s administration about setting up a meeting with the cafeteria manager or other members of the nutrition staff. During the meeting, you can ask questions or bring up any concerns you have about the school menu. You can also ask them about ways you can get involved in promoting better nutrition at school. Your cafeteria manager can also help connect you with the nutrition director who is responsible for menu planning for your entire school district. While lunches and snacks offered in school cafeterias and vending machines are carefully regulated in many areas, food options for school events and fundraisers are not always subject to the same rules. Ask your principal about setting rules about what kinds of foods and snacks are allowed at after-school events, classroom parties, and fundraisers. For example, you might work together to establish a rule that soda cannot be served at school events. As a student, you can use the power of peer pressure for good! Set a good example for your friends and classmates by choosing good lunch and snack options and encouraging them to do the same. Don’t tease or put down your friends for choosing less healthy options. Instead, focus on the positive. For example, you might say, “Hey, have you tried the salad bar? It’s actually really good!”

Using a screw extractor involves drilling into metal. The last thing you want is a flying shard of metal in your eye. Wear safety goggles made with polycarbonate lenses. A center punch is a metal cylinder that looks like a pen. You can find them at any hardware store. With one hand, hold the metal tip against the center of the screw head. Pick up a hammer in your free hand and use it to tap the top of the punch. Strike it very lightly. If you did it right, you’ll see a small divot in the screw. This guides your drill bit into the center of the screw. If the screw is in a tight space, use a small metal drill bit and a right angle drill. Be careful that the bit doesn’t slip while you’re drilling. Thread cutting oil is sold in big jugs at hardware stores, but you only need a drop. Tip the bottle over to splash a little bit onto the screw head. Cutting oil lubricates the metal, which means less time spent drilling and less wear and tear for your drill bit. If you don’t have this oil, you can try a drop of motor oil, WD-40, or another lubricant. Household oils will help but offer less protection to the drill bit. Penetrating oil is needed for rusted screws or ones attached to metal surfaces. It loosens the screw, making it easier to remove. Add a drop of it onto the screw head on top of the thread cutting oil. If you don’t have penetrating oil, acetone may work too.

TL;DR in English: Put on safety gear. Align a center punch over the screw. Indent the screw by hammering in the punch. Apply a drop of thread cutting oil to the screw. Add a drop of penetrating oil to rusty screws.

If you keep checking the girl out and staring at her, it could make her feel uncomfortable and threatened. If the girl looks or tells you that she feels uncomfortable, stop looking at her and walk away. If the girl catches you, don't try to avoid the situation. Instead, admit that you were checking her out, apologize, and stop doing it. She will appreciate your honesty and your apology. You can say something like, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to stare; I just think you’re really pretty. I won't anymore." If you think a girl is pretty and want to look at her, you can introduce yourself to her. Go up to her and introduce yourself by telling her your name and then asking for hers. Take a look at her body language. If she seems interested in talking to you more, make small talk with her. You can say something like "Hey, my name is Dan. What's your name?" If you're checking out girls around your significant other, it can do more than just make the girl that you're checking out feel uncomfortable. It can also cause your significant other to get jealous and mad at you. Avoid checking out girls around your significant other or keep it as stealthy and unnoticeable as you can.

Never talk to your parents when they are angry or stressed--they'll be less likely to listen to your arguments, and even less likely to say yes to your requests. Plan ahead of time and choose a time that allows for a conversation that isn't tense or rushed.  Plan ahead of time by choosing both a time and place that will make you relaxed and comfortable. It also helps to plan what you will say ahead of time. Choose your arguments, research your topics, and even write out a script to prepare yourself. Although it may be a topic about which you're passionate, avoid getting angry or begging. Try to speak in a level tone without raising your voice, and make sure you present your arguments--by stating the facts, you're able to avoid emotional appeals.  Avoid raising your voice, whining, interrupting, storming off, and slamming doors.  If your emotions start to get the best of you, take a deep breath and take a small break from the conversation. Come back to it only when you are composed and ready to continue. I statements help you to make an assertive statement without the receiving party becoming defensive and closed off. Listen to your parents' argument, describe how you feel, how the decision affects you, and how you hope for it to change.  For example, you can start the conversation by saying "I feel that I'm mature enough to grow out my hair." Follow it up with "I feel like a child when I'm not allowed to make decisions about my personal style." Lastly say something like, "I would like to grow my hair out to prove to you that I am still a responsible and mature individual." Be willing to "meet in the middle." Not only does compromising show that you are mature, but it can keep both parties happy. Promise that you won't grow your hair any longer than shoulder length, or agree that you won't add any wild colors or styles.  Promise that you'll get your hair cut every once in a while, trim dead ends, keep your hair looking nice, etc. Remind them, that long hair can always be cut, so it's not like you're trying to...

Use the internet to look into your options to find the best movie to accommodate a good kiss session. There's plenty of apps for your smartphone that will also show you movie times near you. Try to find a movie that you've both either seen or have very little interest in seeing.  This can get tricky with the high price of going to the movies these days.  For a more enjoyable time, wait until the movie you actually want to see has been playing for a month or two. If you think or know she wants to see something, suggest it yourself.  The idea is to pick a movie that won't be too crowded. Consider the duration of the movie.  You should decide if you think you'll want a three-hour movie or can settle with an hour and a half. It could be uncomfortable to smooch to a very serious movie. Either go for a comedy, romantic-comedy, or a horror.  These movies also get less attendance than the bigger blockbusters. Be on the same page as your date. One of the best ways to create chemistry is for the two of you to watch trailers together.

Don't try to paraphrase too much information at once. Focus on the sentences that most effectively support your ideas or arguments, and condense them into a paraphrased statement. If you want to use a longer section of text, it's better to write a summary.  A summary is broader than a paraphrase because it focuses on the main points of an entire section of text and provides an overview of the text as a whole. A paraphrase focuses on one main idea or concept within a larger work. Choose a quote that directly supports your argument. For example, you might choose statistical data contained within an article or an expert's opinion about the issue you're writing about. the quote by identifying the main ideas and supporting details. Identify what the author is saying, such as their main point or argument. Then, note how they support those ideas. What does this quote mean overall?  Be detailed in your notes. This will help you understand the quote, plus you can condense your notes into a paraphrase. For example, you might choose this quote: "Despite expectations, installing metered ramps did not decrease the congestion levels on the highway. Travel times from downtown to the nearest suburb averaged 40 minutes before meters were added to the ramps. After installation, travel times averaged 38 minutes, a difference which is not significant." In this quote, the author's main idea is that metered ramps did not solve congestion issues on this highway, and their supporting details are statistics specifying the similar travel times before and after the installation. If you can express the same ideas in different words, it’s a good idea to use a paraphrase when including it in your paper. This ensures more of your paper is in your own words. Plus, you don’t want to include too many quotes.  If you’re citing data, facts or statistics, paraphrasing is your best option. You can use paraphrasing to avoid having too many direct quotes in your paper. A paraphrase condenses the ideas in a quote and changes the original language....

The meat should be tender if you insert a fork into the thickest part of the roast and you should be able to shred the meat a little if you drag the fork tines across the meat. If the roast isn't tender enough, cook it for another 30 minutes and check it again. Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook the meat on low so the pork heats back up. This also gives the flavors a chance to develop, so if you have time, you could slow cook the meat for up to 3 hours. If you'd like to make sandwiches, toast hamburger buns and set them out with the barbecued pork. You can also serve barbecued beans, corn on the cob, or coleslaw with the meal. Refrigerate leftover pork in an airtight container for up to 3 or 4 days.

The easiest and most reversible way to give your guitar a little flair without damaging the instrument itself, or spending a lot of money is to get a new pick guard with interesting colors, or to get a plain pick guard and decorate it with markers or paint.  On electric guitars, most pick guards can be removed with a small Phillips-head screwdriver, after removing the strings. Replacing it is as easy as placing it and replacing the screws. Pick guards are available at any guitar shop or music store. Acrylic paint and permanent markers are the simplest and best ways of decorating pick guards, and the bodies of guitars. There's more info about painting your guitar in the next section. Jerry Garcia used to stick a rose in between the strings on the headstock of his guitar, and a variety of little decorations hanging from the headstock or the tailpiece of your guitar can look pretty cool.  Try getting a few scarves or attractive looking scraps of fabric and wrapping them under the strings at the headstock, and knotting them tightly. Wrap some strings between the tailpiece and the strap of your guitar to keep it held in place. Another super-easy and effective way of decorating your guitar is to use a variety of stickers placed around the body of both electric and acoustic guitars. While some people think these negatively affect the tone woods and the resonance of the guitar, the difference is difficult to notice, and not significant on cheaper guitars anyway. All of the following make great guitar decorations:  Band stickers Bumper stickers Logos Stickers along the fretboard Leather strap with a psychedelic mandala? Lightening bolt? Bandolier of bullets? A cool strap can do just as much for your general stage presence and vibe as a cool decorated guitar. Shop around online for cool options, or consider making your own.  Adjust strap to an appropriate rock and roll height. That means low, if you're in a punk band, and nipple-high if you're in an indie band. Apply buttons of your favorite bands to the strap. This is...

Pick a store that you know well in order to easily locate your particular item. Or, go to a store outside of your neighborhood in order to avoid running into people you know. Try going to a specialty sex-shop. The best part of buying from these types of locations is that you can easily play it off like you are buying a joke gift for a friend, or a party favor for a bachelorette party. This could also reduce your sense that someone may be judging you negatively by your purchase. Going with a friend or partner can help deflect some of your embarrassment by serving as a social buffer or even a distraction for your embarrassment.   Ask your partner to join you on your trip to the store. Tell a friend you need moral support in buying your embarrassing item. Buying just the personal item can feel like it is drawing attention to yourself and may lead to increased feelings of embarrassment. Instead, buy multiple items in order to camouflage your purchase. Get a bag of chips, gum, or soda to lessen the embarrassment. The more items the better. Using coping strategies when buying sex-related items, such as going to a checkout stand with a similar person to yourself (the same gender and around the same age as you), can reduce embarrassment. This is a very common coping resource for avoiding embarrassment in purchasing personal products. It can be very embarrassing to checkout sexual items with a different sex or someone with a huge age difference. If you can't find someone like you, try to find the person that is the best fit or that you think will produce the least amount of embarrassment for you. This helps to draw less attention to yourself, and reduces the likelihood of engaging the cashier in small talk in order to avoid an awkward moment.  Be polite, but avoid too much eye contact or small-talk with the cashier. Look at a magazine in the checkout stand. Text or be on the phone while waiting for checkout. This may reduce the feeling that someone is watching you or judging your purchase. Studies have shown that...

Look around to find where the stink bugs are located. Vacuum up a stink bug to kill and remove it. Knock stink bugs off plants by spraying them with a garden hose attachment to detach them from the leaves. Once you've sucked up the bugs, pull out the stocking, tie off the end, and dispose of

Meditate Eat slower. Drink water. Keep your diet easy. Feed your mind with thoughts of who you want to become. Be confident. Monitor the mental chatter.

If you see just 1 stink bug, it may indicate a larger issue. Look around for warm pockets near heating vents or sunny spots along your walls and windows. Keep your eyes peeled for their brown, gray, or green bodies that may blend into the surrounding area. If you have an outdoor infestation, look on the underside of leaves for eggs and keep an eye out for discolored leaves.  If you haven’t crushed any stink bugs but start to notice a cilantro-like odor in your home, chances are you have an infestation. Suck the stink bugs up using a vacuum cleaner with a bag. For stink bugs sitting on walls or in crevices, use a small vacuum attachment to capture them. Discard the bag immediately to keep the smell out of your home.   Alternatively, you can wrap a stocking around the vacuum attachment tube to catch the bugs before they reach the bag or filter. Secure the stocking with a rubber band and push it inside the tube. Once you’ve sucked up the bugs, pull out the stocking, tie off the end, and dispose of it immediately. Refrain from using a bagless vacuum as it may smell foul for several weeks. Make sure you use a vacuum cleaner with a disposable bag. Once you spot stink bugs on your plants, use a high-pressure jet setting on a garden hose attachment to detach them from the leaves. Once you’ve forced them away, keep monitoring the plants in your garden to see if the stink bugs reappear. The water pressure won’t necessarily kill them off, but this is a good tactic to use to protect your plants at a moment’s notice. Instead of spraying a solution onto the bugs, mix up a solution of 4 cups (950 mL) of hot water with 3⁄4 cup (180 mL) of mild dish soap in a bucket. Hold this beneath the climbing stink bugs and flick them down into the solution using a gloved hand. After a few hours, drain out the water, bag up the dead bugs, and dispose of them immediately.  The soap will make it difficult for the insects to move, and they will ultimately drown in the water. As far as stink bug elimination methods go, this is probably the...

TL;DR in English: Look around to find where the stink bugs are located. Vacuum up a stink bug to kill and remove it. Knock stink bugs off plants by spraying them with a garden hose. Flick the stink bugs into a bucket of soapy water to catch and kill them. Crush a stink bug with a disposable item if you find it outside.

. You know all that chaos in your head? The running thoughts, the worries, the pointless mental wanderings? Meditation, even just 10 to 15 minutes a day, can help clear your mind and focus your energy. And it's 15 minutes to relax! Why not give it a shot? There are even guided meditations apps like Timer and Headspace you can use to get you going.  It'll be so much easier to budget your time when your head is clear and you've destressed . A little meditation can get rid of all that noise and pressure that we all have in the day-to-day. Don't knock it till you've tried it -- you could be surprised by just how effective it is for you! Alright, not a meditation fan? Then try yoga. Not only will you burn 5 calories a minute, but you'll get that same zen feel like you would in meditation. That mental sigh of relief or breath of fresh air -- now that's life improvement! Food is meant to be enjoyed, not scarfed down on the way to something else. Taste it. Relish it. Enjoy it. When you eat slower, you get more out of your meal and you actually eat less. Your body has the time to register what you're putting into it and appreciate it. When you practically swallow your food whole, it's gone before you realize it and you're just left wanting more. This is a good mantra for pretty much everything. "Stop and smell the roses" has more truth to it in this day and age than ever before. So when you're sitting with your best friend over coffee, think about how great it is.

Pornos very often take their cues from existing movies, either twisting the title with double entendres, or simply going for the raunchy pun. For example, in Zack and Miri Make a Porno, they decided to make a spoof of Star Wars, called Star Whores. What trendy piece of culture can you take from and add to?  Other examples of pornified titles might include Jack Reach-around, Breast of Memphis, Skyball 0069, or The Night Night Saga: Going Down. Though classy titles like "Girls with Guns" also get the message across just as well. Your concept does not necessarily need to be a spoof. You may decide on a single-scene vignette that focuses on an intimate moment with just one or two actors, or a more ambitious movie with an original plot, such as the classic Deep Throat. Now that you've got your concept, what are you gonna need to bring it to fruition? What obstacles might you be able to predict popping up? Things to consider in your initial planning include:   Market. Determine if your movie will be released as a film, DVD, or sold to an online porn distributor.      Length of film. Depending on the concept and your market, your movie may be just 5 to 10 minutes, or a full-length movie.  Number of actors. This will be directly related to the length of the film. While a full-length traditional movie might be made with a very small ensemble—even one or two actors, a porno needs to keep things fresh from scene to scene  Props and set. If your movie is about aliens from outer space, you're gonna need to stockpile the green makeup and aluminum foil. What does your concept require? Ideally, you have investors. Your producer's pockets are deep and money isn't an issue. But realistically, you have your roommate's camera and some duct tape you stole from your school's workshop. Here are a few things to consider:  Equipment purchase or rental -- lighting, sound, editing, and music.  Actors. If you film a couple amateurs for a single-scene shot, the budget will be fairly low. The prices for a star, quite obviously, will be...

Go over spelling and definition for each word. Be very systematic about this process so you cover all of your words in a timely fashion. Do not try to cram all of your studying in the night before the spelling bee! Give yourself plenty of time! Remember, though, since you don't have much time, don't focus too much on definitions! Learning roots, prefixes, and suffixes will help you understand word construction and origin much better. Word spelling will make much more sense rather than being "magic." See a chart of common roots, prefixes and suffixes at http://www.prefixsuffix.com/rootchart.php.  Roots. When looking at your words of the day, pay attention to the roots--where the word is derived from. In your dictionary, you can see the root in the etymology section of the word entry. This will usually follow the pronunciation and part of speech, but come before the definition. Many of the words we use have Latin roots, many of the words used in science and philosophy come to us from Greek, and there are others from French, Spanish, German and more. Prefixes. A prefix is a word, letter, or number attached to the beginning of a word that serves to create a derivative word. For instance: "inter" is a prefix that means between, and "rupt" is from a Latin root meaning "to break." Suffixes. A suffix is added at the end of a word to create a derivative word. For instance, "able" is a suffix meaning "capable of or tending to" that is attached to the end of words. To demonstrate, let's take the Latin "amicus" which means friend. Adding a suffix of "able" will create the new word, "amicable. The new word means "having a spirit of friendliness." Sound your words out. For instance, "a-mic-a-ble." You now know the root "amicus" and the suffix "able," so this should be easier. But remember, sounding out words won't work all the time. Some words with silent vowels or certain root words will be very challenging. Associating the word with the definition is very important to this process. When encountering a word you don't know...

TL;DR in English: Tackle your word list one section at a time, based on your plan. Learn your roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Learn to spell in syllables. Write down each word five to ten times (depending on how much it challenges you), and also write down the definition at least once. Hear words and say words. Spell out the word with your fingers in the air. Find people to help you. Test yourself frequently. Examine your results. Target your weaknesses and adjust your word list as you progress. Rest and relax the night before the spelling bee.

The crown is the dial on either the left or right side of the watch face. Pinch the crown in between your fingers and pull it out until it clicks once. If you hear more than 1 click, push the crown back in and pull it out slowly. If your watch doesn't display the date, then the crown will only pull out once to set the time. You may skip this step. Rotate the crown clockwise or counterclockwise depending on your watch model. Keep turning it until the correct date is in the window on your watch face. If you only needed to change the date, push the crown all the way in to set it. Avoid adjusting the date on your watch between 11 PM and 5 AM since that's when it advances to the next day. If you have a watch that displays the day/date, pull the crown until it clicks twice. If your watch doesn't have that display, simply pull the crown until it doesn't go any further. Turn the crown clockwise or counterclockwise depending on the watch model you're using. Spin the hands for 2 full rotations around the watch face to move forward by 24 hours. Keep turning the crown until you reach the correct day of the week. Don't set the day of the week between 11 PM and 5 AM since this is when the watch will advance it. Once you have the day of the week and date set, turn the crown until the hands point at the correct time. Get as close as you can to the right time so your watch is accurate within a minute or two. The hands won't start moving on their own until you press the crown back in. Once you've made all of your adjustments, press the crown all the way in so it starts again. Check the watch periodically throughout the day to make sure it maintains the correct time. If the watch keeps falling behind, you may need to replace the battery.

Allow yourself to smell coffee and be around it. Make a ritual out of preparing your replacement beverage. Notice how refreshed and calm you feel once you .

One way to treat the pain associated with post-traumatic arthritis is to purchase over-the-counter painkillers from your local drugstore or pharmacy. One option to try is Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Follow the dosing instructions on the bottle, which is normally 500–1000mg every four to six hours as needed. Another option is an NSAID such as Ibuprofen (Advil). Again, follow the dosing instructions on the bottle, which is normally 400–600mg every four to six hours as needed, with a total dose for 24 hours to be no more than 4000 mg. Corticosteroids work to reduce pain locally (when they are injected into the affected joint) by diminishing inflammation and swelling in the area. Ask your doctor to try a corticosteroid injection and see if it helps you. The improvement in pain will normally last for a few months, at which point you may need another injection. Having a few corticosteroid injections is okay, especially if you are finding them helpful with pain relief; however, if you find them minimally helpful and if it requires several to make a difference, your doctor will likely recommend another mode of treatment. There is a limit to the number of cortisone injections given in one area, and the side effects include atrophy of the tissue, discoloration and infection. Hyaluronic acid is a type of synthetic joint fluid (kind of like an artificial synovial fluid, which is the fluid that naturally lubricates your joints). Injecting hyaluronic acid into the joint affected by post-traumatic arthritis can help to alleviate the pain as well as to lubricate and smooth out the motion of your joint. Speak to your doctor if you are interested in receiving this treatment. When lifestyle modifications and medical treatments are no longer sufficient to help you manage your joint pain from post-traumatic arthritis, it is likely time to consider surgery. Surgery is generally reserved as a last resort; however, in many cases, it can be very successful at alleviating your pain.

TL;DR in English: Opt for over-the-counter painkillers. Ask your doctor for a corticosteroid injection. Inquire about hyaluronic acid. Consider surgery as a last resort.

Your doctor will prescribe a medication to help you pass the tapeworm. Carefully follow your doctor's instructions for how to take your medication. The most common medications prescribed to treat a tapeworm infection include:  Praziquantel (Biltricide). This medication works by killing certain worms. Do not take this medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, allergic to any ingredient in the medication, have a worm infection in your eye, or if you are on rifampin.  Albendazole (Albenza). This medication prevents newly hatched worms from growing in your body. It treats specific types of tapeworm infections, including those you get from eating pork and from being around infected dogs.  Nitazoxanide (Alinia). This medication is mainly used to treat parasites that you pick up from swimming in a lake or spending time in other moist places. If you have to pass a large tapeworm, it is likely that you will have some pain and cramping. This is normal, but make sure that you call your doctor if the pain becomes severe. To ensure that you are tapeworm free, your doctor will need to check your stools again one month following your treatment and then again three months after your treatment. Make sure that you keep this appointment even if you are feeling fine.

TL;DR in English: Take medication to help pass the tapeworm. Expect some pain and cramping. See your doctor for a follow-up visit.

Try not to restrict yourself from being in coffee shops or smelling cups of coffee. Sometimes the smell of a fresh cup can be comforting enough, even if it isn’t for you. Coffee can have social qualities, and you may miss meeting up with friends for a chat at a coffee shop. You should still allow yourself the opportunity to meet up with friends at the local java spot, but substitute your regular coffee order with an herbal tea or hot water. This way, you still get the social benefits of talking over a hot beverage without indulging in coffee. Another element of coffee you may miss is the ritual of preparing your first cup in the morning. Create a ritual out of making your replacement beverage so it feels as important and essential as your cup of coffee. Over time, you may end up enjoying your replacement beverage more because you are able to prepare it and make it just the way you like it. If your replacement beverage is tea, you may want to read up on how to brew tea properly. You can also invest in a brewing basket, which you can place in a teapot or a travel mug to steep loose tea leaves properly. Many people who  permanently report back with feelings of calm, alertness, and contentment. Once you get through the withdrawal symptoms, you may have very few cravings for coffee and feel like you could give it up completely.  You may decide to cut back more on coffee but still indulge in it occasionally. This may mean having tea in the mornings and then one cup of coffee in the afternoon, or having only tea one day and then one cup of coffee the following day. Another option is to cycle through your coffee habit, where you have coffee for a month and then give it up for one month. Then, the following month, you may gradually drink more coffee to build up your tolerance. Over time, your body gets used to caffeine and can become immune to the effects of caffeine, especially if you tend to drink coffee on a consistent basis. Cycling through your coffee habit can allow your body to maintain a balance and feel the...

If there are a few stains that won’t come off with regular cleaning, then you can try treating them with nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. Rub the stain with a cloth that has been dipped in rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. Always test the fabric before applying to stains to ensure that it does not leave a mark. In order to do this, you will need to apply baking soda to the stain and let it sit over night. The baking soda will absorb any grease from the leather. The next day, simply wipe the surface with a clean cloth. To do this, wipe off any loose dirt or dust, then wet your shoes using a damp cloth. Next, dab a small amount of toothpaste onto your shoes and rub in using your fingers. Pay close attention to any stains or scuff marks.  Scrub any tough stains with an old toothbrush. Then, wipe away the toothpaste using a damp cloth. Let the shoes dry in a warm spot. Combine lemon juice with cream of tartar. Mix together, adjusting the amounts, until a paste is formed. Rub the mixture onto the stain and let sit for approximately half an hour. Then, remove the mixture with a sponge and wipe with a clean cloth.

TL;DR in English: Remove stains with nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. Remove grease stains with baking soda. Use toothpaste to clean leather shoes. Make a lemon juice and cream of tartar cleaner.

A stick of gum after a meal encourages the production of saliva in the mouth, which fights bad breath. Look for gum with natural essential oils. Spearmint, peppermint and cinnamon oils have been shown to tackle foul-smelling bacteria in the mouth. This might be tough to do, but chewing coffee beans and then spitting them out has been known to temper garlic breath. Rubbing coffee beans on your hands (and then washing them) can also help to remove the smell of onion and garlic from your skin. If other remedies for onion and garlic breath don't seem to work, cutting down on your use of them in meals will prevent bad breath. If you eat garlic for its potential health benefits, you may want to substitute an odorless garlic supplement for raw garlic. Be aware that supplements come in many forms, range significantly in quality, and research into their health benefits and side-effects is ongoing.

TL;DR in English: Chew gum. Chew coffee beans. Reduce your consumption of raw and cooked onion/garlic.

Abrasive cleaners can damage cubic zirconia. All you need is some mild dish detergent from your kitchen and a bit of warm water. The precise ratio of detergent and water for a routine cleaning does not have to be exact, but strive for about one part detergent to two parts water. You can dunk the jewelry briefly to get it wet. You can also simply apply your water/detergent mixture to your toothbrush. Gently scrub down your cubic zirconia with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dirt and debris and achieve a healthy shine. If you don't have a spare toothbrush on hand, cubic zirconia can also be cleaned with a soft cosmetic brush. A brush used for eye shadow, for example, would work well. It's important not to leave any soap residue on cubic zirconia. After washing your cubic zirconia, rinse it under the faucet until the water runs clean. Letting cubic zirconia air dry can cause damage. Use a clean cloth to gently dab the zirconia dry. Keep dabbing until there is no moisture left on the jewelry.

Start with the ball a foot or so in front of you, slightly to your right. Stay up on the balls of your feet throughout. Spring off your left foot as you're landing, transferring weight to the right foot. Land your right foot 1-2 feet to the right of the ball. Change speed after your touch to blow by the defender.

Make 4 chain stitches. Next, make a slip stitch into the first chain to form a circle. Use a size I/9 or 5.5mm crochet hook and medium worsted weight yarn. Start off with 2 chain stitches. Next, do 3 double crochet stitches in each space. Close your round with a slip stitch. You will end up with 12 stitches total. Mark the end of your round with a stitch marker. If you don't have one, you can use a safety pin or even a piece of yarn in a contrasting color. Start off with 2 chain stitches. Do 2 double crochet stitches in the first stitch. Follow up with 1 double crochet. Repeat the last 3 stitches (2 double crochets in 1 stitch, followed by 1 double crochet) until you reach the end of the round. You should have a total of 18 stitches. Do not turn your project. You might want to move your stitch marker to the end of your round, however. Start with 2 chain stitches. Then, do 2 double crochets in the same stitch. Follow up with 2 double crochets over the next 2 stitches. Repeat the last 4 stitches (2 double crochets in 1 stitch, 2 double crochets over the next 2 stitches) until you reach the end of the round. Close the round off with a slip stitch. You'll end up with 24 stitches. Remember to move your stitch marker, if you are using one. Start each row with 2 chain stitches and 2 double crochets in the first stitch. Do x-number of stitches, then repeat (2 double crochets in one stitch, followed by x-number of double crochets) until you reach the end of the row. Close each round off with a slip stitch. How many stitches you do for "x" depends on what round you are on. The number "x" increases with each round. For example:  Round 5: 2 double crochet in 1 stitch, 3 double crochets over the next 3 stitches. 30 stitches total. Round 6: 2 double crochet in 1 stitch, 4 double crochets over the next 4 stitches. 36 stitches total. Round 7: 2 double crochet in 1 stitch, 5 double crochets over the next 5 stitches. 42 stitches total. Round 8: 2 double crochet in 1 stitch, 6 double crochets over the next 6 stitches. 48...

TL;DR in English: Start with a chain circle. Do your second round. Start your first increasing round. Close the third found off with a slip stitch. Do your second increasing row, then close it off with a slip stitch. Continue doing your increases for rounds 5 to 8. Start doing the body of your hat. Continue doing the body of your hat until it is the desired length. Finish off with a border using single crochets. Tie the end off, then weave it into the brim of your beanie using a yarn needle.

One of the simplest ways to store gift bags in your closet is to store them in larger gift bags. Fold each bag up, place them inside your larger bags, and hang them by their rope handles on a hanger. Use different colored storage bags to separate your gift bags based on occasion. For example, organize birthday bags in orange-colored bags and Christmas bags in green-colored bags. You can cheap clip hangers (typically reserved for clothes) to hang your gift bags. Each one can hold anywhere from 3 to 10 bags, depending on their size. Stick colored tape around the top of the hangers to separate different types of bags. An expandable file folder is a great storage solution for your bags since it's so small to store! However, if your file folder starts bulging, you might want to separate them into multiple colored folders or use a different method. Wired file organizers are cheap and easily transported. They come in plenty of different shapes and sizes, giving you plenty of flexibility in terms of how and where to store your gift bags. Wired file organizers come in both vertical and horizontal designs. Choose one based on your available space.

If this is the first time performing the move, practice without the ball moving or at a very slow jog. If jogging, take a light touch so that the ball is rolling forward as you approach it. You want to keep the ball close to you throughout the move. While you can practice the first few standing still, you should work on both still and moving scissors to be effective in a game. You never want to come down completely on your feet with a heavy landing. You need to be able to spring in either direction in an instant. As you come around the ball, shift your weight towards the right. This both fakes out the defender and allows you to land on the right foot, which you push off of to go left. You need room to get your left foot around the ball and touch it away from your defender. Make sure you're landing on the balls of your feet, not your heels, so you can spring up quickly. As you land, begin bringing your left foot to the right side of the ball. A change of speed is essential to pull off any move, and the scissors is no different. Use your left-footed touch to burst into a quick sprint, blowing by your defender before they realize the fake.

Plot the x-intercepts on the coordinate plane. Find the axis of symmetry. Find the vertex of the parabola. Determine the direction of the parabola. Draw the parabola with a solid or dotted line. Shade the graph.

The first step in doing something new is to come up with some fresh ideas. Start by generating a list of things you’ve always wanted to do. Remember that there are no wrong answers when you’re brainstorming! Aim for at least five items on your list.  Perhaps you’ve always wanted to skydive, bungee jump, or go white water rafting. Maybe you’ve always wanted to write a book, perform at an open mic, or grow your own garden. Maybe you’ve always wanted to work as a barista, make a short film, or try a vegan diet. Another way to generate some new ideas is to make a list of things you’d like to learn. Learning new things is a great way to meet people, have fun, and feel a sense of fulfillment. Aim to come up with at least five things you’d like to learn.  Perhaps you’d like to learn a new language, such as Spanish, Italian, or Chinese. Perhaps you’d like to learn a new creative skill, such as photography, pottery, or landscape painting. Perhaps you’d like to learn how to cook, do yoga, or write poetry. Finally, you can add to this ongoing list of new things by listing places (or things) that you’ve always wanted to see. Traveling to a new place (even someplace that is just around the corner) can open your eyes to new possibilities.  Maybe you have always wanted to visit the Louvre in Paris and see the Mona Lisa. Maybe you have always wanted to climb a mountain in the Alps. Maybe there is a restaurant in your city that you’ve always wanted to try. You don’t need to think too hard about it. Simply select the item from these lists that jumps out at you, makes your heart race, and gets you a little excited. This is the first new thing you should do. Even if it is seems big and far away, with a little planning, you can do it. Don't get caught up in choosing something. Just pick an idea that excites you!

Most of your body's water loss happens through perspiration. Cover as much skin as possible with loose, light-weight clothing. This will trap the sweat against your skin, slowing evaporation and therefore water loss. For this reason, it's probably best to go with a cotton undershirt rather than a wicking fabric. Cover it all with a light windbreaker.  Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and gloves. Pack wool or fleece clothing. If an emergency occurs, you may be traveling at night, when it can get quite cold. Light-colored clothing reflects more heat, but dark clothing usually provides better protection from UV light, which causes sunburn. If possible, find white clothing that's labeled with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of 30+. Whenever you enter a desert, bring more water than you expect. While walking in the sunshine and 40ºC (104ºF) heat, the average person loses 900 mL (30 oz) of sweat every hour. In an emergency situation, you'll be thankful for any water you carried.  Divide the water you're carrying among several containers. This minimizes the amount of water you can lose to one leak.  Store the excess in a cool spot in your vehicle, away from direct sunlight. Energy bars, pemmican, jerky, and trail mix are popular choices. Do your research, experiment beforehand, and be prepared. When wheeled vehicles break down, it's just your two legs and the path to the next town, and you don't want to be carrying anything nonessential.  Include some foods with salt and potassium, which are lost in sweat. These will help you avoid heat exhaustion and retain more water. However, if you are dehydrated, excess salt can make you feel worse. Food is not a priority in a desert emergency. If you are out of water, only eat the minimum required to function. Here are the bare essentials for a survival kit:  Sturdy emergency blankets Cords or rope Water purification tablets First aid kit Fire starters Powerful flashlight or headlamp. LEDs last longest. Knife Compass Signal mirror Goggles and a dust mask or bandana...

An x-intercept is a point where the parabola crosses the x-axis. The two roots you found are the x-intercepts. For example, if the inequality is x2+4x−21<0{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x-21<0}, then the x-intercepts are x>−7{\displaystyle x>-7} and x<3{\displaystyle x<3}, since these are the roots you found when using the quadratic formula or factoring. The axis of symmetry is the line that cuts the parabola in half. To find the axis of symmetry, use the formula x=−b2a{\displaystyle x={\frac {-b}{2a}}}, where a{\displaystyle a} and b{\displaystyle b} correspond to the terms in the original quadratic inequality. For example, for the inequality x2+4x−21<0{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x-21<0}, you will first calculate x=−42(1){\displaystyle x={\frac {-4}{2(1)}}}:x=−42{\displaystyle x={\frac {-4}{2}}}x=−2{\displaystyle x=-2}. So, the axis of symmetry is the line x=−2{\displaystyle x=-2} The vertex is the high or low point of the parabola. To find the vertex, first change the original inequality into an equation equal to y{\displaystyle y}. Then plug the x{\displaystyle x} value you found for the axis of symmetry into the equation. For example, if the axis of symmetry is x=−2{\displaystyle x=-2}, plug -2 into the equation and solve:y=(−2)2+4(−2)+−21{\displaystyle y=(-2)^{2}+4(-2)+-21}y=4−8−21{\displaystyle y=4-8-21}y=4−8−21{\displaystyle y=4-8-21}So, the vertex of the parabola is at the point (−2,−25){\displaystyle (-2,-25)}. To know the direction of the parabola, look at the a{\displaystyle a} term of the inequality in standard form. If the a{\displaystyle a} term is positive, the parabola will “right-side up,” meaning it opens towards the top. If the a{\displaystyle a} term is negative, the parabola will be “upside down,” meaning it opens towards the bottom. Since the a{\displaystyle a} term in the inequality x2+4x−21<0{\displaystyle x^{2}+4x-21<0} is positive, the parabola will be right-side up. If the inequality is greater than or equal to (≥{\displaystyle \geq }) or less than or equal to (≤{\displaystyle \leq }), draw the...

The top number of your blood pressure reading is your systolic blood pressure (pressure when your heart beats). The bottom number is your diastolic blood pressure (pressure in between beats). As such, practices aimed at lowering your systolic blood pressure will usually lower your diastolic blood pressure, as well. This allows you to determine whether your diet and lifestyle habits are effective at lowering blood pressure, and can be done using a blood pressure cuff at home, at the pharmacy, or at your doctor’s office. High diastolic blood pressure readings come in at 90 mmHg or higher, while those at risk for high blood pressure have diastolic blood pressure readings between 80 and 89 mmHg. The normal diastolic blood pressure range is between 70 and 80 mmHg, though it may be lower if you are young or if you exercise very often.  If you've been diagnosed with high blood pressure--either overall high blood pressure or high diastolic blood pressure only--start by checking your blood pressure twice a day for a week (once in the morning and once in the evening). Afterward, switch to two or three times a week. Once your blood pressure is under control, you can ease back to once or twice a month.  Keep in mind that it is possible to have a diastolic blood pressure that is too low. If you have an abnormally low diastolic blood pressure, it means that your heart is no longer pumping enough blood to reach all your vital organs. This may be due to strenuous exercise, but also to more serious conditions, such as anorexia nervosa. As a result, you may inadvertently increase your stroke and heart attack risk. Even if you manage to track and lower your diastolic blood pressure at home, it’s still a good idea to consult with your doctor or other healthcare provider about your heart health. Together, you and your doctor can work out a treatment plan that can improve and maintain your health with regards to blood pressure concerns.  Your doctor will be able to guide you on ways to manage your overall heart health while...

TL;DR in English: Understand your blood pressure numbers. Track your diastolic blood pressure regularly. Consult your doctor. Take prescription medications for blood pressure. Follow your treatment plan as recommended by your healthcare provider.

It can seem really easy to get pregnant, but that’s often not the case. To conceive, live, healthy sperm need to be inside your body when a healthy egg is released. Frequent sex ensures you have sperm in your body if an egg is released. Sperm can live inside your body for up to 5 days, so have sex at least once every 5 days. It’s normal to experience vaginal dryness while you’re breastfeeding, so you may not get very wet when you’re aroused. This can make sex uncomfortable. Apply a lubricant prior to having sex to relieve your dryness.  Use a water-based or silicone-based lubricant, depending on your preferences. Make sure your lubricant doesn’t contain spermicide, which will prevent pregnancy. if you do. You’re likely not smoking right now because the nicotine can pass to your baby through your breast milk. If you are still smoking, it’s best to quit while you’re trying to conceive. Smoking lowers your levels of progesterone, which your body needs to prepare your uterus. Don’t smoke if you want to get pregnant.  Quitting is really hard, but you can do it. Try attending a support group to help you quit. Additionally, replace smoking with another behavior, like chewing gum. You likely won’t be able to use nicotine replacement products while you’re breastfeeding.

TL;DR in English: Have sex every 5 days to increase your chances of pregnancy. Apply lubricant if you have vaginal dryness after breastfeeding. Stop smoking

Depending on the type of paint you used for your countertop, curing time could take anywhere from a couple hours to several days or even longer than a week. During this time, it's important that you don't put anything heavy on the counter, don't get it wet, don't have food near or on it, and avoid disturbing it as much as possible.  If you don't give the paint time to cure, it could smudge, get dented or marked, or not adhere properly to the surface. Check the paint can for the manufacturer's instructions regarding curing time for the paint you used. Whenever your cutting or chopping, always use a cutting board to protect the paint and the counter surface. This will prevent scratches, chipping paint, and other dings and marks. To protect your knives and keep them sharper for longer, use wood cutting boards instead of plastic, bamboo, or glass. Heat mats will protect both the paint and the laminate from damage. Never put a hot pot or item directly on the counter, and always place a trivet or heat mat on the counter first. The same applies in the bathroom, and you should never put hot styling tools directly on the painted counter. Hot items can burn or melt the paint, leave scorch marks on the laminate, warp the counter, and separate components within the Formica. Use sponges and cloths, and clean the counter with liquid cleaners and soaps when necessary. Avoid scrubbing pads and harsh powder cleansers that could strip the paint from the surface.

Find a spot that is unobstructed, dark, and on level, solid ground to set up your telescope. Leave your telescope outdoors for an hour or two before using it to allow the equipment to adjust to the climate; the shift from indoor to outdoor temperatures could cause the telescope’s optics to fog up, affecting the view.  To make your viewing more efficient later, align your finderscope (i.e. the aiming device in your telescope) ahead of time; focus on a distant object and adjust the settings to fix the view. Bring a flashlight with you to set up and later pack up your telescope in the dark. A lot of the excitement about viewing Mars is due to the notable features of the planet's surface; these features are more distinguishable than Earth's due to Mars' smaller size, thin atmosphere, and lack of erosion. Some key features that observers look for are:  Mars’ polar ice caps the pale haze that forms over polar regions albedo markings (i.e. variations of light and dark on the surface of the planet, marking an alternation of bedrock and desert sands) clouds in the planet's atmosphere Sketching Mars during your observations is an excellent way of making yourself think about what you are seeing; experienced observers spend years sketching the planet to note any intriguing details on its surface or in its orbit. Be patient in order to capture fine details accurately; draw the foremost features first (e.g. the polar ice caps) and then add finer details (e.g. clouds, haze). Be sure to note the date, time, and filters used (if any) to establish the full context of your observation. While using a telescope is the ideal way to view Mars in great detail, the planet can also be an impressive sight for the naked eye. The weeks surrounding Mars’ opposition with the Sun and its closest approach to earth are the best times to view the planet without equipment. Track the dates with a sky map; Mars should be viewable throughout the evening during this time period. Use an app like Sky Map to track where the planet is. If your interest...

A lender will pull your credit history to decide if you are a good credit risk. For this reason, you should review your credit history before applying for a loan. You can get a free credit report from each credit reporting bureau every year by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com or calling 1-877-322-8228.  Study the report for errors. For example, information might be included on your report that isn’t yours. Instead, it might belong to someone else with a close name or Social Security Number. Also, credit reports sometimes list the incorrect payment status on accounts or don’t include remedied problems, such as an account paid in full.  If you find errors, then dispute them with the credit reporting bureau whose report contains the error. It can take up to 60 days to complete the dispute process, so plan accordingly. There are two types of loans available to purchase apartment buildings. A non-recourse loan is secured with the building itself. They are available to certain buyers if the building is worth $2.5 million.  The other type is a recourse loan. With this loan, you will be personally liable on the loan. This means that if you default, the lender can come for your personal assets, such as your home. Loans can be long term (up to 30 years) or short term (five, seven, and 10 years).  Interest rates can be fixed or variable. If you pick a variable rate, then the interest rate will change as the loan matures. You’ll need to submit quite a bit of paperwork to a lender when you apply for a loan. You will probably need to submit the following, so gather it ahead of time:  property description, including year of construction and number of units pictures of the property map showing the property’s location and competitor apartment buildings plans for upgrades information on rents copies of floor plans purchase price and closing costs names of others involved in the transaction (such as attorneys, real estate brokers, and title companies) You can apply for a loan with many different lenders and the choose the...

If you have access to the physical machine from which the account holder works, they may store their commonly-used passwords in a document somewhere.  Most computers allow for a cursory search of documents from within a search bar (PCs) or the Finder app (Macs). Try typing in keywords like "password", "account", and "user name" (or "username").  Be sure to search for hidden files as well. This can be information ranging from their date of birth to their favorite pet's name. The goal here is to figure out possible answers to their security questions as well as candidates for their password itself. For example, their favorite pet's name followed by a number might be a password. If you can't figure out their password based on general guesses and they don't have an explicitly labeled password file on their computer, try using everything you know about them to guess the password. Some helpful information may include the following:   Personal information (e.g., their favorite pet's name) - This can help you guess their security questions, which often allow you to bypass a password if you enter them correctly.  Social media details - If you're friends with them on social media (or you know someone who is), their likes and interests listed there may be reflective of the answers to their security questions as well. Especially if you are a parent attempting to view a child's account or an employer investigating fraud, you probably have the authority to speak with people who may know something about your target password.

Understand the enemy. Scrape off any excess oil or grease. Blot the stain. Apply baking soda to the stain. Remove the baking soda. Clean the carpet with dry cleaning solvent if residual stains remain. Scrub with a degreaser. Steam the stained area.

If you have a hardwood floor (lucky you) a small throw rug next to the bed should be the only floor covering you need. Keeping the floor bare makes a room seem more spacious, while covering a floor with small rugs dissects it and makes it look cluttered. Plus, you'll avoid the expense of buying extra floor coverings.  If you have carpeting, avoid breaking it up with smaller throw rugs. Keep the floor clear of random objects like bean bag chairs, piles of clothing, and other odds and ends. Investing in a few good-quality mirrors is a great idea when you're working with limited space. Mirrors really do trick the eye into thinking a space is larger than it is. Install sturdy shelves on the wall and use it for the books or trinkets you want to display. You'll free up a lot of floor space by getting rid of your bookcase. You may love your collection of vintage cuckoo clocks, but chances are they're taking up too much space in your little bedroom. Choose your favorite items to display and put the rest in storage. You can rotate them out after a few months to keep things fresh and interesting. Plants are an inexpensive way to add a beautiful decorative touch to a room, and they don't have to take up too much space. Go to your local nursery and pick out a few plants small enough to display on your windowsill or a shelf.  You could also consider installing a hook in the ceiling and buying a hanging plant to place near a window. Succulents, such as air plants, require very little upkeep. You can hang them up or display them on a shelf in pretty glass containers; just spray them with water once a week to keep them green and healthy.

TL;DR in English: Keep the floor as bare as possible. Use mirrors to make the room feel larger. Use wall shelves instead of a bookcase. Choose just a few trinkets to display. Find a place for a plant or two.

If you have acted badly towards a colleague or an acquaintance, such as spilling coffee on your colleague’s shirt or missing a lunch with an acquaintance, you may want to offer some form of compensation. This could be a redeeming action that is tangible, like paying for dry cleaning the stained shirt or paying for lunch with the acquaintance to make up for missing it the first time. The action of at least offering to compensate the person will often show that you feel bad and want to try to make up for your behavior. Offers of compensation can be financial if you have damaged someone else’s property due to your behavior. You can also offer compensation through other kind actions, like paying for the person’s coffee if you spill theirs by accident or helping someone replace their broken phone if you accidentally sent theirs into the toilet. Another way to make up for bad behavior is to surprise the person you have offended with an apology gift. This could be a standard apology gift, like a bouquet of flowers or a box of sweets. Leave the gift on their desk or have them delivered with a card noting how sorry you are. The small gift may at least help them work toward letting go of their anger toward you and accept your apology. You could also think of a gift that seems particular to the person, like a mug with their favorite celebrity on it or a box of their favorite chocolates. Thoughtful, personal gifts are usually a big hit and can show the person that you feel bad for your behavior. You can also do something nice for the person that will improve their day and show them you want to make up for your behavior. This could be surprising them by taking them out to lunch or bringing them their favorite lunch at work. You could also plan an outing just the two of you to make up for missing an appointment with the person. Often, kind acts should be done along with an apology in words. You may need to compose a thoughtful, heartfelt apology and share it with the person, as well as do a kind act, to help the person forgive you.

TL;DR in English: Offer compensation for any damaged items due to your behavior. Give the person an apology gift. Do something for the person that will make their day.

Whether you rubbed oil or grease on your interior ultimately doesn’t matter for cleanup purposes. Here’s why:  Oils are defined as any compounds that are insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents (non-polar things like gasoline), and liquid at room temperature.  Grease, on the other hand, is simply an oil that has additives to make it semi-solid (kind of like Jell-O) at room temperature. These additives are solid and do not absorb into the surfaces inside your car.  This means that, once you scrape off any excess contaminants from the surface of your interior, the stain left behind is an oil stain. Cleaning oil from cloth seats requires the same process you would use to clean it from carpet. You can use a paint scraper, spoon, or knife. It doesn’t matter if you use metal or plastic, but be cautious not to puncture your seat. This will remove any residual oil or grease that is left sitting on the surface of your interior. Use a dry paper towel or shop towel to do this. This will soak up the oil. Allow the baking soda to sit for 10-15 minutes. You can vacuum it up with a shopvac or sweep it up. If there is a large amount of oil, you might put more baking soda on the stain and repeat this cycle several times. If there is any stain left, you can repeat the process as long as you continue to see improvement. Instructions for sponging and blotting with a particular dry cleaner will be included on the manufacturer's bottle. Once you can no longer tell that this method is making a difference, you should move on to another method. A detergent such as Dawn is often enough to break up oil stains, especially fresh ones.  You can also buy other over the counter grease/oil removers such as Goo Gone. This is the most common and straightforward way to remove a grease or oil stain. If a degreaser didn’t knock out the stain, you may need to use steam to coax it out. The steam will heat the fibers of your carpet and open up any pores in the fiber. This allows the carpet to “release” any trapped oil and gives you the...

Your locket should have a frame around the area designated for the image. You want to find out the measurements of the image space. If possible, measure this with your ruler to the closest millimeter or fraction of an inch.   Use a ruler or tape measure to find the size of your locket. Knowing the measurements will provide you with a reference point to use when resizing your image. If you are unable to measure your locket’s image space, you can estimate it. A general estimate is about 1 millimetre (0.10 cm) or so smaller than the size of your locket. It is better to guess high than aim low, because you can always trim the edges of your image later. Circular lockets may be trickier to size because they do not have straight edges. Measure across the circle horizontally to find the diameter. You can use this as your approximate width. You can estimate the height based on the top and bottom of the circular shape. It's okay if your measurements aren't exact. Get as close to an even fraction as you can, and estimate to a larger number rather than small. That way you can trim the image to fit, if you have to.

TL;DR in English: Measure the size of your locket’s image space, if possible. Estimate the size of your image space, if difficult to measure. Measure the diameter instead of the width if your locket is round.

Eat fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats instead of processed foods. Protein contains collagen and elastin, which both make your skin firm. Antioxidants, meanwhile, can help heal aging caused by sun damage.  Good sources of protein include eggs, dairy, beans, tofu, seeds, and fish. Antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and biotin (Vitamin B7) are found in fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, carrots, oranges, and leafy greens. You can also take supplements, although your body may absorb them better from food.  Lean meats, like turkey, chicken, and fish, are a good source of both protein and antioxidants like selenium.  For example, you might eat scrambled eggs and an orange for breakfast, a spinach salad and cottage cheese for lunch, and grilled salmon with salsa for dinner. Water will keep your skin elastic and plump. Men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 l) and women should drink about 11.5 cups (2.7 l) of water per day. To make sure you get enough water, carry a bottle with you throughout the day.  Remember to drink water both before and after exercising. If you're dehydrated, your body loses both water and electrolytes, both of which can help keep your skin tight and smooth. Try eating a banana with a glass of water for a healthy boost in electrolytes. Do not drink sports drinks, which are high in sugar. Exfoliation can improve circulation, which may keep your skin healthy and firm. In the shower, scrub your body with exfoliating gloves or a boar brush.  For your face, use a facial scrub after washing it with a cleanser.  Ask your doctor for a referral to a dermatologist or look for one through the American Academy of Dermatology: https://www.aad.org/find-a-derm. Exfoliating too often can cause skin damage. Start by exfoliating once a week. After a few months, you can exfoliate 2 or 3 times a week. For more dramatic results, visit your dermatologist for a chemical peel or microdermabrasion. These should only be done once every few months. Smoking may make your skin less elastic,...

TL;DR in English: Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet high in protein and antioxidants. Drink plenty of water every day. Exfoliate your skin. Quit smoking.

This usually means getting a rod, reel, and some fishing line to spool on. The rod should only need a 6 to 8 pound test. Perch are smaller fish, and do not require complicated or expensive equipment. You may also want a cooler or stringer to hold you fish, especially if you catch several, or want to keep fishing after a catch. Live bait is best, and perch prefer minnows and insect larva. Many anglers have also found crayfish meat to be popular with perch as well.  Get the right lures. If you can't get live bait, artificial lures such as plugs, jigs, and spinners are good ways to draw in perch.  Yellow, white, and yellow-white designs seem to be the most popular, but perch have been known to favor other colors and designs.  Perch are smaller fish and move quickly, so you'll need a lure that reacts to less movement and is easy for you to keep an eye on. Some states require a fishing license depending on where you fish and what kinds of fish you are searching for. Make sure you know your state's laws, and that your license is up to date. Be sure to check if the license comes with any catch limits. You don't want to get in trouble for taking too many fish. Plus, that isn't fair to other anglers.

One of the worst things you can do to silicone bakeware is let the residue sit for long periods of time before cleaning. As soon as you finish baking, you should rinse out the silicone bakeware with grease-cutting dish soap. This will help maintain the integrity of your silicone bakeware and make future cleaning much easier. At the very least, fill the silicone bakeware with water and dish soap immediately after use so you can go back and clean it later. Scrubbing silicone bakeware with abrasive sponges will not work any more effectively in cleaning than a regular sponge or cloth will. And it may even damage your silicone bakeware in the process. Using an abrasive sponge can chip off pieces of the silicone and, over time, minimize the nonstick elements of the pan. Silicone bakeware is considered nonstick in its own right, so you don’t need to use nonstick cooking sprays with this type of bakeware. It will not help you get items out of the silicone pan any quicker than you would be able to with it. Additionally, using cooking sprays with silicone bakeware will contribute to the sticky, greasy mess you have to clean up later and cause more damage to your pan over time.

TL;DR in English: Rinse immediately after use. Avoid using abrasive sponges. Forego the cooking sprays.

This is a proven way to reduce crime in an area. Dim lights make it easy for crime and criminals to operate unnoticed. By placing more lights and brighter lights in poorly lit area, you can help to reduce crime.  Programs in England that improved street lighting conditions were found to “irrefutably” reduce crime in those areas.  A similar study of parks in Los Angeles found that keeping parks lit at night also reduces crime in the areas illuminated. By placing CCTV cameras outside to monitor criminal activity, you can help apprehend criminals in the event that you capture a crime on video.  In Chicago, research shows that for every $1 spent on cameras, more than $4 was saved in court costs, incarceration, and pain and suffering associated with prevented crimes.  Cameras work best to deter criminals when there are a sufficient number of them which are visible. High traffic areas that are not pedestrian-friendly can be havens for crime. Drive-by shootings rely on open, fast-moving streets. Areas without sidewalks, which favor cars over pedestrians, make it easier for criminals to operate.  Operation Cul-de-Sac in Los Angeles was proven to effectively reduce homicides connected to drive-by shootings. They set up traffic barriers to cut off car access for certain streets.  Bridgeport, CT found success with their “Phoenix Project”. Planners implemented a complex street modification program. By changing and controlling the flow of traffic in their city, they had a 75% reduction in crime.
